Puzzled as to why this card was made part-black even all the way back in Ice Age, seeing as it doesn't even put the extra cards into your graveyard like Ransack the Lab does. By analogy with tutoring?

10/11/19 Mox Ruby



If I'm not going to exclude cards that are ridiculously bad then I'm not going to exclude cards that are obviously good.

Magic prices are at the point where you can buy a lifetime supply of board games for a single card. There's some perspective in there, if you think about cards only from a gameplay value standpoint.

That said, 0/10, would not play Mox Ruby.

I hear ABU moxes are good. Pearl, Sapphire, Jet, and Ruby should be unbanned in Commander.

Still remember someone showing off a paper version of the vintage moxes at a legacy event years ago. Obviously not legal at that event, but I'm still thankful to be able to see one for real. :)

Probably one of the fairer Eldrazi Titans but all that card draw is fun.

I still remember someone saying the opponent countered Kozilek, but the caster of Kozilek won from the 4 cards that were drawn. Cast trigger > counterspells. :P

10/16/19 Golgari Rot Farm



Goes well with landfall and Summer Bloom but weak against land kill.

Jund is such a cool wedge.

however devour I would claim is a negative feeling ability. eating your own creature for very little gain (in this case a single +1/+1 counter)
im sure they are thinkin your sacrificing "fodder" (a 1/1 goblin token) but still, sacrificing your own permanents is negative over all but not everytime. ie you play into the theme which I support.

OMG

is devour the grandfather of food token? I just blew my own mind

whelp

first time for me to see this card. Hmm, devour reminds me of the mycoloth deck I played against a few years ago. Devour is strong when a deck us built around it.

I think it's well known that this card is an incredibly strong budget option for anything green.

I like this card

what I really like is random numbers, in this case 5. oh man 5, is it the sweet spot? hell no its not, this is a common afterall. therefore it could have been anything. whats wrong with 6, 6 is way smoother, id name my 5th child Six. anyway welcome to the broccoli,

restricted tutor is fine, this card allows you to get "the thing", even though you could just substitute "the thing" for this card. haha what if you got 5 things. . .oh man then this card makes perfect sense

I love magic

I like that card too. Simple and cheap to cast. Can sometimes be a budget piece in a creature combo deck.

I will always like these lands, and I have a soft heart for the world of ravnica. Izzet is imo one of the cooler guilds.

whats crazy is I get zero steampunk vibe out of it, maybe not enough soot.

mad scientist with a wrench! love it

Ahh, this cycle. I like the Karoos. Good amount of risk-reward tradeoff.

10/24/19 Orcish Lumberjack



Another risk/reward card. In one of my casual decks, my favorite play is to use Orcish Lumberjack to play turn 2 Shivan Wurm

Actually something of a classic ramp card. It's a pet card of mine too.

I don't have any experience with this. however its seems legit, but under the radar. would you play a extra land in the decklist with this? 2 more lands? or just a land recursion?

original art isn't as sexy as the one shown, but still gets best art haha

cards like this, (one that has been printed a few times over the years) crack me up cause I relearn that I have copies of this card lol

When I go for turn 2 Shivan Wurm using Orcish Lumberjack, I am taking a big risk. A safer play would probably be a turn 2 four drop and a Llanowar Elves.
